[2021] Prestige rewards ideas

So recently in a podcast between Pestily, Noiceguy, Axel, and Nikita the topic of prestiging on your non-wipe character was mentioned and as it's still early in development, Nikita said he was open to suggestions on rewards for prestiging. Personally I would like to give a couple ideas I had.

-Choosing a starter loadout, when you decide to prestige your character, you get to decide what loadout you want that does not come included with the starter kit, so say like you can start with an M4 and TV-rig to give you the edge you would need for certain raids or encounters while early in your prestige reset. However, as always when you die, you lose that starter loadout if you have it equipped

-level requirement reductions. Currently, the flea market and trader reputation pass is linked to a certain level requirement. By prestiging you are given the ability to obtain flea and reputation passes sooner.

-Choose a map to pre-unlock. One aspect of tarkov that will be introduced is that in order to reach another map, you have to survive a raid in the previous one along a route. By prestiging you are allowed to unlock one map of your choice to get access to loot and items that may otherwise be unavailable. possibly stacked per prestige

-Extra stash items. A progression based unlock to extra gear in your stash similar to how it is with buying different Tarkov bundles. By prestiging you are given more loot to start off with whether it be extra meds, extra armor, extra guns, extra ammo, etc

-special cosmetic. As Nikita believes in a fair playing field for all players based on equipment usage, skill level, and knowledge of the game, making changes to that with the aforementioned ideas could be problematic. So what better way to be a prestiged player than to have a special outfit or tattoo on their character.
